Valentine's Day aka Single's Awareness Day

So next week is one of the most loathed days of the year for singles and even for some couples. There's so much pressure to get the perfect gift for that significant other. Even couples who despise each other the rest of the year some how become all lovey dovey once February 14 rolls around.

I've never been in a relationship on Valentine's day and honestly I don't know if being in a relationship would change my view of Valentine's day. I would much rather get flowers on a random day, not on a day where every florist and grocery store has tripled the price of those same flowers. Why should florists and card companies dictate when you should declare your love for someone?
